More progress on the Sega Dreamcast emulator for PC.

From the official site (http://dknute.livejournal.com/):

- AICA cleanup: done
- Puru Puru Pack (vibration) support: done
- Render to texture: done
- Fixed (again, and for good I hope) missing sound in Project Justice
- Spent 4 hours playing Elemental Gimmick Gear on Makaron :)

Force feedback was tested on Soul Reaver and seems to work. Did I ever mention this game is one of the reasons I moved from simple SH4 recompiler project to full-blow Dreamcast emulator? I simply adore whole series.

Now this is actually Saturn conversion, that's why the graphics look a bit dated. Don't let it fool you into thinking it's old and boring - it's quite the opposite. Runs rock solid too, I've played it on full screen and never had a single problem whatsoever.

And this isn't a game at all, just a movie demo disc - GD though, so Dreamcast exclusive. Kinda sucks they didn't remove the interlace - looks pretty bad on PC monitors. Nothing can be done about that now, it's MPEG stream.

And this apparently is Makaron exclusive for now :) I've only played Interlude for several minutes (can't read kanji, so...) but I've noticed there's lots of nice backgrounds. Plenty of spoken dialogues as well. It's 2003 game so I guess quality is higher compared to similar games for Dreamcast (why, even compressed the image is still almost 1,2G).

I am so sick & tired of cutting every screenshot I make to size... I need a good and free screen capture program. Any suggestions?

No one tell him Soul Reaver is out for PC ;)
